Hi! I was recently in a pet store, just looking around, and I saw a couple little animals called a Degu. They are very interesting little creatures.
I was just wondering how you say that name...is it said: "deegoo", or "dehgoo"...how is it pronounced?
Thanks!

According to my dictionary it's daygoo:
degu (n)
Pronunciation: (dā'gOO)
A rat-sized New World burrowing rodent, Octodon degus, having long, smooth fur and a black-tipped, tufted tail.

Here are some sites with more information on the degu itself:

Thank you for telling me how to say it and for the website links, Karrow! I appreciate it a lot!
